What if we told you there was a new-this-weekend burger joint called Big Chef Tom's Belly Burgers that just got opened by a Food Network Star finalist who makes his burgers entirely out of pork belly, and already has one of SF's best burgers despite not even having a restaurant prior to this week? Would you say, "Please show me pictures of the best five burgers immediately"? Thought so.

3. Tong Po

This patty's topped with salted pineapple, iceberg lettuce, and Thai peanut sauce, and named after the bad guy from the classic movie Kickboxer. Note to burger chefs: if you don't have a burger named after a villain in a Van Damme movie, you're doing it wrong.

5. All-American (with a twist!)

A Chef Tom personal-favorite, this is the All-American (rosemary mayo, sliced Granny Smith apple, sharp cheddar) but with added jalapeños and *gasp* a patty made from ground chicken thigh! That's right, you can get your patty in chicken form (or, ugh, vegetarian). That's right, part two: you can add the crap out of jalapeños. And totally should.

They also have sides you have to try, like the buttermilk- and spiced-flower-dipped crispy red onions, or the house-made crinkle-cut fries you can (and should) get covered in Cheez Whiz (not house-made).

Big Chef Tom's Belly Burgers hails from one of the best burger chefs in the city -- a Food Network Star finalist who makes his burgers entirely out of pork belly. Head on in for some of the best, juiciest burgs around.
